All of us are born for a reason..........From "Violet King" by Violet King

All of us are born for a reason, but not all of us discover why. ………

If that sounds a strange statement to make, let me explain. The vast majority of people are not interested in anything, but getting through the day. They aren’t interested in what makes things tick, they wouldn’t grab an opportunity if it got up and bit them, they don’t care about what is going on except what is on T.V. or what they had for dinner last night, and the daily routine of life.

I have personally witnessed glazed expressions go across people’s eyes if the conversation changes to anything with more depth than that. No problem! I am not being critical here, or saying that it is wrong to be like that. I am just stating a fact.

Some people will would not get involved in any discussion that would reveal what they feel about things, or what they believe in. They just listen, then if it is a controversial theme, they change the subject of the conversation at the first available opportunity!

Years ago my best friend criticised me for getting involved in a spiritual education programme, and when I queried her objection she said we were just like cabbages in the garden, pulled up, cooked, eaten and forgotten. That shocked me, but she was entitled to her opinion! She was married to a successful football player, with everything money could buy, and that is ALL that mattered. Nothing else but material things even interested her. Having said that I love her to bits and accept all her differences, because that is all it is, just a difference, another way of looking at things.

People who have impressed me and motivated me and helped me make changes in my way of thinking have always endeared me to them by presenting a different point of view and one that I could see makes sense. I love that. There is not one thing that I think now, that I wouldn’t change if someone could present me with a better option and different way of seeing things. Not fickle, just not happy about being stuck with a rubbish point of view!! I love change, I love variety, and I love learning different things about life. We aren’t around long enough at the moment to risk being bored, and the world is full of people with different points of view, different experiences, and I love to hear about it all!

Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's how you handle things, and what you want to get out of life. It also has to do with how you see life and how you see yourself. If you want to, you can make changes, and maybe that way we can find out what our own life is all about No one else is in control of how we handle things, but us.
